In the heart of the small village Gornji Grad is a white baroque cathedral, the largest in Slovenia. Behind it, on a former monk estate, is a charming herbal garden. A short walk away is the herbal house. Join their designers, guardians and herbalists Maja and Amanda on their private herbal path.
Experience the magical world of herbs that takes you to your inner world. The design and guiding principle of the herbalists is to know, understand and respect the natural and cultural heritage of the local area and traditional craftsmanship, themselves and the village community. Loyalty is also shown in their genuine personal storytelling. Herbs gently whisper stories. Yours too. Listen to it.
